The platform for teams large and small

Yes. With Instant Developer, you can manage collaborative development with a complete teamworking system that works similarly to GitHub. You and your team can work on parallel and independent branches of the same project and then merge all your work into the master branch for the project. Forks, commits, merges, fetches, pull requests, etc.: these are all operations that people using Instant Developer can manage in a fully integrated system that’s adapted to the specific structure of Instant Developer projects.

You can configure Instant Developer so that it collects detailed analytics on user actions and application responses, as well as user feedback. All of this aids your prototyping and testing work and helps improve your software. The analytical data collection system allows you to check both the behavior of users as well as that of applications. This way you can recognize and investigate errors that have occurred on user devices without the need for users to report them. This is all done completely anonymously and can be configured to avoid transmitting personal data.

All possible exceptions are also traced, and you can configure alarms for those that interest you most. The analytics system works online and offline and is already set up: no need to write any code. Instant Developer also integrates a User Feedback functionality, so that an issue can be created automatically when a user sends their feedback about any problems they encounter while using an application. This way, you can converse with users, anticipating and avoiding possible negative reviews on the app stores.

Instant Developer is designed precisely to allow you use a single tool to maintain control over everything you need to develop your software:

• Defining data models and automatically creating relational databases in the cloud.
• Defining data-access classes, created automatically inside the integrated ORM (Object Relational Mapping) framework.
• Defining or importing APIs, for integration with external systems.
• Developing the front-end in the IDE starting from the mockup or from wireframes. The connection with the back-end is automatic.
• Powerful, complete debugger for resolving issues more quickly.
• Teamworking and versioning system fully integrated.
• Execution of non-regression tests using an automatic system for recording and running tests on the application.

Instant Developer uses an integrated collaboration system specifically adapted for projects developed with the platform. It works similarly to GitHub. You and your team can work on parallel and independent branches of the same project and then merge all your work into the master branch for the project.

Instant Developer has a specific teamworking system, because it does not save data for software projects in individual text files. Every line of code you write in the IDE becomes part of a system of relationships with the other lines and with the objects in your application. This graph of relationships is stored in a single object, which therefore can be managed optimally using the integrated teamworking system. This ensures maximum efficiency, because management of the work group is strictly integrated with the rest of the ecosystem. This way, there is no risk of incompatibility, and it’s not necessary to set up specific configurations for different projects.

Instant Developer integrates a powerful issue reporting and management system to support developing in a team. Using an approach similar to GitHub issues, the Issue Tracking system makes it possible to create issues in order to report errors or improvements to be implemented in the app and assign them to the developer who’ll need to handle them. Then directly inside the IDE each developer can consult the issues they have been assigned, with the result that the list of tasks to be completed is integrated into the development tool, considerably increasing efficiency. The User Feedback functionality is integrated into the Issue Tracking system, so that an issue can be created automatically when a user sends their feedback about a possible problem encountered while using an application. This way, you can converse with users, anticipating and avoiding possible negative reviews on the app stores.
